VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
Enumerators x10 (Iris Aid funded project)
Established in 2007, the Liberia WASH Consortium (LWC) brings together five international organizations (Action Against Hunger, CONCERN Worldwide, TearFund, Oxfam, and Water Aid) to support the Government’s efforts in improving the health status of vulnerable communities to attain their set targets for the clean water and sanitation SDG6 as well as contributing to meeting Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and Goal 3 (Good Health and Well Being).
The 5 consortium members have designed a 3 phased approached program- with phase one focusing on formative research on the barriers and the drivers of stunting in Liberia- with key formative researches/studies: Nutritional causal analysis, cost of diet analysis, the social behavior change, and barrier analysis as well as contributing to the formulation of national strategies based on the research/studies outcomes (this phase is completed). A subgroup of the consortium members (Action Against Hunger – The Lead –, Concern Worldwide and WaterAid) will implement the “Multi-sectoral response aiming to improve the nutritional status of children under 5 years of age in two counties of Liberia” in 2 counties (Grand Bassa and Rural Montserrado ) for 12 months. The duration of the whole program is anticipated to be 4 years. Action Against Hunger is the consortium lead.
About us :
Action Against Hunger is an international network (Paris, New York, London, Toronto, Madrid, and New Delhi) committed to ending world hunger. Action Against Hunger (AAH) has been working in Liberia since 1990 with the purpose to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable people, at first during the emergencies and then in a more development setting, until the 2014 Ebola outbreak and the emergency it generated in the country. AAH interventions in Liberia aim at improving the nutrition security of the population, with a particular focus on children under-five and pregnant and lactating women. AAH aims at doing so by implementing multi-sectoral programs, which encompass direct nutrition intervention and prevention activities to address the underlining causes of undernutrition, i.e. poor health, food insecurity, poor care practices, and poor access to water and sanitation. AAH also has an integrated advocacy strategy in the mission that cuts across all the sectors.
